 5  Fibromyalgia, Pain, Sleep Vertigo if I miss a dose. LOVE IT. I was taking Lyrica before but it stopped working each time I missed a dose so I was given Ultram by a friend who also suffers from Fibro and it was relief that I hadn't had in a long time. When I got my perscription, I would only take it when I had pain then I noticed a pattern. The days after I took it at night, I would wake up fully rested and pain free. The difference was noticed by everyone who knows me. I stopped my Lyrica and have been takin my ultram before bed and have not had aches or restless nights while taking it. I ran out one day woke up tired and stiff. I had pain all day and felt chills, just as I felt on a daily basis before taking this med. I also notice that my mood enhances. I get very chatty and playful.... More than usual. If I miss a dose, everyone knows it without me having to say anything. LOVE IT!!! F 33 3 months

 3  Migraines felt high, had trouble sleeping, added to migraine-induced nausea, extremely restless, dizzy... I orginally took ultracet, which is ultram mixed with tylenol and was also given ultram ER(extended release). I think I actually felt worse AFTER having taken the ultram. The ultracet took the edge off the pain but made me vomit and feel "crazy". I'm currently looking for something else I can take. F 26 1 years

 5  Fibromyalgia ocassional racing heart, if dose is missed- withdrawl, sweating, pain lethargy. Ultram changed my life. Fibromyalgia had basically stopped me from doing anything resembeling living becuase of SEVERE pain, stiffness and lethargy. I had tried most of the narcotic meds and found the side effects worse than my fibro! Ultram relived about %70 of the stiffness, %50 of the pain and %50 of the tiredness. I am able to work again and care for my child. There are hardly any side effects and the good FAR outweighs the bad! F 29 1.5 years

 1  abdominal pain Anxiety,depression,constipation,spacey,crying jags,feeling like the life was draing out of my feet, horrible dreams..........wanted to die.............. This has to be the worst medication I have ever been on. I almost went to the ER thinking the life was draining out of my feet. I was as white as a sheet of paper and my blood pressure dropped. The Phys. Asst at my Dr's office gave me 200mg to start with and I took that at 4:30 in the afternoon. My symptoms lasted for a day and a half. Funny, the script she wrote for me was 50mgs. I forgot about my pain, for sure, but the side effects were a nightmare and I would not recommend this medicine to anyone. Seems dangerous.....So happy the pharm companies are getting rich off of all this crap they feed us. Shame on the Dr's for not being better informed. Health care is getting to be a money making monster...........Anyone know a good old country doctor who cares??????????????????? F 54 1 days

 1  Broken ribs I didn't want pain pills. This drug helped instantly with pain. Gave me great energy. Headache some days. Lost weight. Made me crave more cigarettes than normal. I did feel "high" when I told the Dr. they said no problem. Worst medicine ever given out to people, withdrawal is impossible to handle without help and addiction is very probable. Prescribed to me as: non-addictive/non narcotic. I didn't want pain pills, because of my job. I work about 65 hours a week. I had two broken ribs that healed wrong then needed to be broken again to position them better, I used for 6 months, when I finally healed I threw them away. I was instantly sick worse than any flu possible. A horrible cough like choking, 0 energy, out of control anger, depression, tongue feels like its blistered, hard time breathing, night/day sweats, exhausted but “crazy legs” kept me awake even with sleeping aids. My head felt like a buzz type ringing. Horrible withdrawal for three weeks, 3 months later still trying to recover lacking energy and mood swings. I went back on again just to feel normal I was worried I'd loose my business. I'm furious that Dr.'s prescribe this to a patient, who never wanted to be on anything narcotic like. I went to outpatient re-hab, the drugs they prescribe didn't help with withdrawal, I was treated as an addict. F 42 2.5 years

 2  Back Pain Ultram caused me to have a racing heart meat, insomnia, and an odd "s[eedy feeling" that was anything but comfortable. Ultram is a good analgesic. But beware... Since it works on neurotransmitters (specifically, Serotonin) it can produse some interesting side effects that other analgesics do not. I required a higher dose for relief which probably contributed to my less that stellar results. It might be just the thing for some, but I did not like the side effects. As for discontinuation, I think there were some withdrawl effects even taking it at therapudic doses. M 20 2 months

 5  Pain, sleep and mood issues At first, I would get very warm, a bit sweaty, and sleepy. Those faded after a few days, and then I noticed slight muscle cramping in my legs and hips. Nothing bad at all. I assume that this was simply my body adjusting to the tramadol. I rarely take any pain medication. Tramadol has been a Godsend for me. Not only did it completely eliminate my knee, shoulder and lower back pain, but it has drastically improved my mood and outlook on life. I am more motivated, sleep better every night, get things done early, spend very little time in front of the TV now, and just feel great. I never realized that my serotonin levels were low until discovering this on accident. I honestly feel like it has given me my life back. I take 100 mg after breakfast, and then another 50 mg in the early afternoon. Nothing bothers me anymore; not traffic, work, inconsiderate people, etc. It has a very slight body buzz, but nothing too uncomfortable or uncontrollable. It's more mental than anything, but I'm so glad that I found this. M 33 14 days

 4  Pain Helps quite a bit with muscular/neuropathic (fibromyalgia) pain. Works even better for mood elevation/mental energy/decreasing brain fog/increasing concentration. Did not help much with back pain due to herniated disc. This drug is psychologically and physically addictive. I would recommend not taking it every day and taking breaks from it as well. M 30 2 years

 5  First Bite Syndrome None Ultram deadens my uncontrolable nerve pain that no other drug can do. Even when I was taking percocet the pain was there. Ultram is a miracle drug. Also provides males with prolonged stamina in bed. 50mg an hour before, and you can go all night long. M 21 9 months

 1  Menstral Cramps Headache, nightmares, feeling of not breathing as falling asleep I was given Ultram ER (extended release) 100mg to help with really bad cramps. These did nothing for my cramps. I did experience a strange sensation as I was trying to fall asleep as if I stopped breathing and I would wake myself back up again. When I did finally fall asleep I had horrible dreams. The next morning I had a horrible headache and kept feeling like I needed to take another pill F 30 1 times

 3  back pain Slight mood elevation, seizure (after I increased the dosage) Ultram worked well for moderate pain control (Ultram ER did not work, it seemed to have no effect). I was very satisfied with this medication until I had a seizure after starting the medication again at a higher dose after stopping (I was also taking Zoloft at the time, which I was told by my doctor didn't interfere with Ultram, but I have my doubts).

 5  slipped disk and labrum tear withdrawal symptoms, its like speed at first-can't sleep for the first week but after that it has been a godsend. this drug has helped me get my life back. i was stuck in bed for 2 years. i don't crave it like the other opioids. its cheap and its totally legal online since its not a scheduled drug. (tramadol) keeps me in good spirits and takes away enough of the pain for me to work and stay as active as possible. email me if you need a reputable website. 180 tramadol=$120 i take one 50mg tab 3-4 x daily. some people it works great on and others it doesn't. if you have real pain and you are not looking for an opiate high, (tramadol)ultram might work.

 5  Extreme menstsrual crambs slight tiredness, that "I feel good" feeling Ultram works wonderfully for my cramps. It works as well as Percocet did w/o the risks. I only use it when I have cramps. I'm thankful for it! F 26 3 months

 3  head injury SEVER WITHDRAWAL if I don't take every day even if I don't want to. Mood elevation, energy, euphoria, relieved symptoms of depression, vomiting if too much taken, sometimes sleepiness, difficulty achieving orgasm and if it is achieved it's not fulfilling. Have to have sex before first dose of day. Strong desire to smoke. Only smoke cigarettes after pm dose. Ultram no longer relieves my severe headaches, but works for other pain I used to take OTC painkillers. I am mentally and physically addicted and I hate myself for it. I take two 50mg tabs in the morning combined with my coffee, gives me a buzz for several hours. I start withdrawing by the afternoon and feeling sleepy, irritable and useless till pm dose of six 50 mg tabs. I now take this only for the "high" and am an abuser. I hate myself and I'm scared to get off. Withdrawal symptoms are unbearable. Sometimes on weekends, I take six and the other two a couple hours later. Please be careful. My husband or friends don't understand how serious my problem is. I'm really hooked like a doper. I've overdosed just to get my high. I never though I could have this problem. This happens to other people but not me. F 26 1 years

 5  post lower back surgery Elevated mood swing (like drinking 3 Red Bulls)Little itchy feeling, dont take at night! It will keep you awake. I find the ULTRACET works better then the ULTRAM. The ULTRACET has 37.5 mgs of ultram and 325 mgs of tylenol. A very effective combination. I only take it 1 or 2 days a week and have no side effects. Love this medicine! It's better then getting addicted to narcotics. F 48 2 years
